How much mycelium do I transfer over with grain to grain?

If you're going grain to grain, you can turn 1qt colonized grain into 10qts...

Depends on how far you want to expand versus how fast you want it to colonize.

You could transfer one quart to ten, or you could transfer one quart to fourty, believe it or not.

That depends on a lot of factors. I have had a lot of BRF cakes start fruiting before I'm ready, either because of a hidden contaminate, or maybe fruiting conditions were perfect. On the other hand I've had colonized oats sit around for a couple weeks and they didn't have any signs of pins yet.

Big fruits in later flushes have less to do with genetics than they do the amount of fruit growing at the same time. If you've ever grown cannabis..... Tomatoes.... Apples.....  Any other growing thing I can think of. You'll understand the principle at work.

The best fruit from a heavy first flush pinset is your best bet. Best indicator of fast and desirable genetics is a bad ass fruit among the masses.




Cool thanks!  Hopefully I’ll start getting better canopies. :-)

The first flush on my PE var. clone came in slow and were small.  2nd flush actually came in faster and had larger fruit but the clusters were bigger.  Could it be bc it’s a 1st gen clone?

What do you mean "1st Gen clone"? I doubt that's the problem. The spores you started with were most probably from a clone that was most probably multiple generations deep.... Anyway.

PE is a strange variation and behaves rather differently than non mutant cubensis varieties. The first flush can be finicky and hard to get right. Some say you need to let it consolidate longer and some say it's all about a proper casing. I say, and I'm far from totally understanding PE, spawn just like any other cube and apply a nice casing at spawning. I think it's important not to go too high on the spawn ratio with PE too. 1:2 or 1:3 has seemed to work best for me. 1:1 send to cause more of a blobish first flush. This could be tied to longer colonization theory to though.

That’s why I was asking. 

I actually started with a used swab that was supposed to be APE, which after many attempts I was able to get it to fruit. (Due to what I started with I was fighting contaminants).  When it did finally fruit they looked nothing like a PE strain.  (Will post pics when I can access).  The fruit I cloned was from about the 10th flush and the only fruit resembling PE.  Since taken from such a late flush its basically starting over with the genetics isn’t it?  Again, asking so I know for future clones.

Thanks,

BB

Could use some help diagnosing my tubs. Inoculated grain on 5/1, Spawned on 6/1, so i know the genetics have been horrendously slow from the start. First 2 weeks, things went well and the pinset looked great, but the big factor against me is the furnace did not run at all so there was no air movement. Week 3 it got hot outside and the A/C ran a lot, so they definitely got some fresh air. Now, they have seemed to stall out. They've been at 69-71* F at all times, the only change really is air current.

This was 7/1:


This is today:




It looks dry as hell on the surface, but underneath still has so much moisture on the tubs, so that leads me to believe that's not the problem. But on the left and right tubs, mycelium has started to climb some stipes and caps and take over. Are these even viable to keep going or should i chuck them? My gut instinct is that i don't trust how long they've been going so i should probably throw them out.

Absolutely not. It doesn't matter what flush a fruit is from. Clones never reset genetics. That's the whole point of cloning. To preserve genetics. Spores alone "reset genetics" and they don't even really do that. They take you back a bit in the genetic history (lineage) but don't reset it. Your spores have a history as old as time.

What size tub and what spawn:sub ratio did you use?  When the temp dropped it could have caused them to stall.

Also MS or spores -> agar?

66qt tubs, 1:1.5 ratio, sub depth is about 3" on all. The right tub was closer to 1:1.7 and 3.5" but that is splitting hairs. The temp didn't drop though, just that they now have cool air blowing near them. While the A/C was running, the substrate still checked out at ~70*. MS to agar, and i know the plates weren't perfectly clean. The plates looked visually good but my spawn was a little bacterial. To me, the pinset looks like it DGAF about the bacteria :lol:

hello i dont know how much information i should give

i have grown some spores in a special grow kit(this special grow kit does not follow a/the pk tek) for 5 weeks

i am now ready for the next stage but i dont fully understand what i should be doing next with the perlite and its exact position(s), i need to take off the lid of the special grow kit now that my spores have turned to strains and filled the special grow box and then place the grown spores>strain into a humidity tent(bag) with damn perlite.

my question involves the perlite(damp) do i put it onto the top of the grown strains? or around the side of the plastic container? or both? whilst inside a humidity tent...?

Sounds like you dont need perlite at all. Pics, if possible, would help mucho

Perlite is always on the bottom with a piece of foil between it and the mycellium. Or it's on a rack above the perlite. If you go foil, you want it just big enough that the mycellium isn't touching the perlite. Pics would be helpful if pics wasn't down at the moment.

Is this ready to spawn or should it sit and consolidate to become a denser white?

If it's clean, doesn't really matter... wouldn't hurt to let it consolidate... bacterial issues are caused/exacerbated by excess moisture... I wouldn't call that fully colonized... this is:

Boom, will wait thanks. Spawning once all the grains are covered even if the myc is a bit thin like in my pic has been my standard. I wonder if some of my struggles can be attributed to that

I mean... I kind of doubt it the determining factor alone... perhaps not helpful, but I believe that if the culture is healthy, and the sub isn't overhydrated, it should colonize before contaminant spores have a chance to germinate and grow to be an issue... it may be a cumulative effect of many small things, but I believe there to be enough culture there to do it's thing... we shake our grain before spawning so much of it is bare anyways... Idk mane
